New '07 Base owner in Tennessee!

Hey y'all! New WDP owner here. I got the car with 86k miles for just under 12k. So far I'm loving it. The trans shifts smoothly up and down; it actually seems to shift smoother the faster I go ha. I work at a Honda dealer so that should help with my 100k service coming up. I was gonna ask what leather treatment you all prefer? I've been using Zaino Z10 for a while so far with no complaints. Also, why is my glovebox so dang small!?!

Congrats on picking up the TL. Sounds like you got a really good deal on it too.

Yeah the glovebox is pretty small, but there are a buncha other compartments to stick your stuff in.

Welcome Dan-congrats on your new ride.

Your glovebox gets bigger the longer you're on AcuraZine and the more you mod.....

Very Nice! Congrats!

Welcome to Azine!



I am not a fan of the body side moldings/pinstripe, but if you like it, that's Great!

I am not usually a fan of them either but for some reason, I really dig it on this car. I think they both do a great job of accentuating the lines of the car.

Congrats on the ride. Rides even better when you get a great deal on a car also!!!!!!

That car would be about 15G's in the Atlanta area market for TL's.

It was listed at $13.4k at the BMW of Chattanooga dealer but Economy Honda (where I work) and BMW are part of the same company so I got a pretty good deal on it.

Yeah I feel pretty blessed to get it for such a low price. It's a nice car and I've already caught the modding bug!

Great looking Car Tuner. I live about 25 miles south of you in Dalton and just bought one too. Looks like you got a great deal. I saw that one online but my budget was 10k and I was willing to accept a few more miles & I didn't think they would come down close enough to what I had. I wound up with an 07 with 124k for 10,250 and so far I'm really happy with it. Mine is Carbon Bronze but white was my first choice!

WDP is my favorite color. Great pickup.

As for leather conditioner I used to use a Meguiars product but I can't remember what it was called. It worked decently, but that Z10 stuff is supposed to be pretty good.

Awesome dude! Good pickup for you as well. Carbon Bronze is a super good color. What interior color did you go for?

Tuner, I don't think there were but about 3 interior colors to choose from with the carbon bronze exterior. Mine is taupe which I think looks good. Parchment was one of the others but I think it looks too dark with this exterior.

Tuner - you work at Economy Honda... right? Its not really time for your timing belt to be done but i don't think you mentioned it anyway. Got any idea what Economy will do one for? And does that include water pump, idler puller, tensioner.... ? Mine has not been done and next week I'm going to go around pricing it.

I'm gonna say it'll be around $1200 to do the full service which will include everything you've mentioned plus maybe more. Our techs get $100/hr+tax labor and I think that's about a 7-8hr job.
